Redacted AMRAAM Production J and A.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole-source contract action exceeding $93 million for AMRAAM production, program support, and sustainment services for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Dominance Division.

The contracting activity is the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Dominance Division, AIM-120 (Air Intercept Missile) Production/Sustainment Branch at Eglin AFB FL 32542. The sole source is Raytheon Missile Systems, located in Tucson, Arizona. The J&A supports multiple follow-on contract actions for continued production and sustainment of AIM-120 missile variants for up to ten years covering Lots 34 (FY2020) through Lot 43 (FY2029), with authority under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) for sole source procurement. The estimated contract value over the 10-year period is redacted, with annual estimated dollar value also redacted, consisting of Procurement, Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E), and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs.

Required supplies and services include AIM-120 missile production variants and configurations; Program Support and Annual Sustainment (PSAS) activities encompassing logistics support, repair capability, material control, spares management, and Service Life Extension/Prediction programs; Technical Support providing materials, engineering, and management services; and other production and sustainment-related contracts including test equipment, support equipment, Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) purchases, and configuration management. The J&A justifies sole-source award based on Raytheon's status as the only responsible source capable of meeting production and sustainment requirements without substantial cost duplication, noting no other qualified sources have expressed interest and requalifying a second source would not be cost-effective. The document was approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition, Technology & Logistics) on 16 May 2018.
